• Love the light and the fan.....however...The remote receiver does NOT fit anywhere in the fixture. No directions on where to install it either. It is simply too big to fit inside the fixture. Any ideas
• This light exceeds the expectations the video in the advertisem*nt does not do its justice an amazing light fixture and fan air movement is more than enough breeze for two medium rooms if placed in the center of two.
• Love this fan/light! Quite unique. Plays surround-sound music. You can hear it throughout the house. Does not hang down like most chandeliers. Five of my neighbors bought one after seeing it

• Love that I can order a product from Wayfair and have it on my doorstep in just a couple of days...for FREE!!! This fan has a great look, it has not been installed yet, but I expect nothing less than 5 star performance!
• Very interesting fan with excellent look. The original fan had a bent motor shaft but Wayfair was quick to replace it with another fan (same fan) and it looks and runs great.

• This is a high quality and beautiful fan. Its super quiet and the light is just right. I only took away 1 star because we had issue securing the motor but we used longer screws but that made it not so easy to assemble.
• I have been waiting for the right fit for our bedroom. Took me a while but I am SO happy with the decision thus far. It arrived earlier than expected and we were able to install it same day. Super quiet and nice quality.
• Hunter fan is solid quality. Love the ceiling hugger. Looks great in living room. It puts out twice as much air as our previous fan. I’m not crazy about the vintage lightbulb that came with so will probably switch out to led soon.
